Final answer:

The question likely refers to a refractive error such as myopia or nearsightedness, which occurs when the eyeball elongates and causes images to focus in front of the retina, leading to blurred vision.

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition described in the question where 'their cornea no longer focuses correctly,' 'their lens no longer focuses correctly,' or 'their eyeball has elongated with age,' typically refers to some type of refractive error in the eye. These are common vision problems that affect the ability of the eyes to focus light, which in turn leads to blurred vision.

A misaligned vision could be indicative of a condition known as strabismus, where the eyes do not properly align while focusing on an object. However, the condition where the eyeball elongates and causes images to focus in front of the retina is known as myopia, or nearsightedness. This could be what is 'wrong' with Kali's observation about Ira's baby's eyes if she perceives that the baby cannot focus correctly at a distance.
